In this episode of the podcast.......

We speak to Kris King, one of the founders of the Beyond The Ultimate race series and now part owner of The Spine Race.

We talk about his route into multiday racing and his love for running ultramarathons around the world.
Kris tells us about his approach to risk taking, whether that be in his running or in his need to dive feet first into every challenge and opportunity that comes his way.
Some of those opportunities have been helping to grow BTU from its humble beginnings, to partnering with The Spine to help push both businesses to where they are today.

We talk about his love of Gig rowing (google it) and his goal of setting a new FKT on his beloved South West Coast Path near his home in Poole Dorset.

In this episode of the podcast I speak to Jon Shield.

Jon recently caught my attention for winning and breaking the course record for the Winter Spine Sprint. Knocking over 2 hours off the winter time. 

We talk about his experiences racing around the world and how he now has his sights set on breaking more course records. Starting with the Spine Challenger South this summer and then lining up with the big guns at next years full Winter Spine Race! 

Jon is a confident ultra-runner that has his sights set high. 

I’m looking forward to seeing how he executes his plan for 2023!

In this episode of the podcast we speak to Jack Scott.

Jack heroically took second place at this years Winter Spine Race. A race that gained a lot of attention for how close the winner and Jack were as they came in to the finish. 

Jack made a slight nav error that ultimately cost him a 40 minute time penalty and the win.
We speak about how he thought the race went, his kit and his laser focus from his approach to race psychology.

As always Jack is a great guy to speak to and he really is going places with his running!
